TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONGERN:

Be it known thatI, AUcUsi'U's J. WARNER, of the city of Brooklyn, in the State of New York, have invented a certain new and useful improvement in window B'lind Fasteners or Shutter Holders; and'I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, refer ence being had to'the accompanying drawings, and to the'letters and marks thereon.

My improvement is intended to be used in fastening or holding back the us'ual blind or shutter when it is fully opened and against the wall or side'of the building, the plate to which the arm or lever of the fastenen'is connected being screwed or otherwise suitably aflixed to the casing or frame of the window, and the arm or lever,

when the shntterjs opened or back, pressing againstfthe inner edge of the blind or shutter. The drawings, forming part of this specification, represent my invention v Figure 1 the'ieof being a view with the arm or lever' a placed in three different positions in relation-to the plate 12, the one position, indicated by black lines, being that of the arm or lever when it is in a perpendicular line with the wall, the shatter notbeing opened the second position, indicated by red lines, beingtha't when the lever or arm is elevated and prepared to be turned-down; and the third position, that of the arm, indicated in blue lines, when holding the shutter opened, the last position being at right angles to the first.

Figure 2 shows the arm a when in the perpendicular positionv Figure 3, the arm without the plate 6; and Figure 4, by a sectional view, the plate 5.

In each of these figures like parts are indicated by the same marks and letters.

The plate 6 has holes for the screws,-and ears or lugs c for sustaining. the pin or pivot d, on which the leve moves. 'The lever or arm a has a projection, e, which, when the shutter is open, and the lever is turned to hold the shutter, rests against the projecting end f of the recess 9 of the plate. The larger end of the arm .or lever has a slot, It, in which plays the pin'or pivot d; and'the smaller end is curved, the oneside of the curved part having aface, i, which comes againstthe shutter when it is held open. The movements of the arm or lever from the one position to the other can beeasily and conveniently made. When not inner} to hold the blind or shutter open, the lever will be folded against the casi-hg-plate or strip out of the way; a hen operating to hold the shutter open it will occupy-but little. space, and be readily reached and handled..- A8 is evident, theparts v of this holder or fastener can be made by casting or by swaging, and of any of the metals commonly used for like articles. 7

What I claim as' my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patient, is-

A shutter 01 blind-Holder or fastener, having the slot and face i constructed and operated substantially as herein described.
